Not the best looking locos, but 70001 departs Hull Dairycoates with the Tarmac stone empties to Tunstead on 20th April 2021.

The cover picture of this book came to mind when I read your question.

One that I never got to model was the parcel side of a large terminus station.
Along the back scene a single track with a platform. On the platform either stone work or large advert hoardings just giving a hint of the train behind on the single track.
Moving forward on the viewing side of the platform a track used for assembling a short parcel train and / or running DMU shuttles.
In front of that 3 or 4 tracks to park parcel stock or stable the odd loco.
The trick is giving the impression of a larger station, so lots of signs indicating platforms 6- 9 this way. The train partial hidden behind the adverts could be modelled with a coach door opened and several figures in line as if they have just got off.
Hope I have given you or someone else food for thought.

Andy they also do a PCA cement wagon (Vee tank) they are not listed on their website so you will have to ring.
Mine were bought at shows.

My two resin skytrex ones cost around £50 plus wheels and were fairly easy to build.

A TTA tank wagon in the number of liveries they come in must surely be viable.
Carefully done to allow for variants.

Several of these are available as kits.
From time to time some manufacturers ask for suggestions but they don't go any further.
I was hoping accurascale would add to their hopper range, but nothing as yet.
It's all very well churning out loco after loco but if they have little to pull...
I guess air brake stock is a niche market in what is still seen as a niche scale.

Nice to see progress on these.
Was there a HSA variant too for scrap metal that had the hopper doors welded shut?

In the Dapol interview on the virtual show on Saturday it was said they are on the water.

Yes it seems the page has been removed.
Hopefully it will get re instated

A small tank engine would be a good bet, but a large chunk of work was already done on the Little Loco companies two up and coming plans before they folded - the Ruston shunter and the class 22.
Could Dapol have bought into these?

Looks good but as already said leave room for a portacabin and a road vehicle or two.
Looking forward to your progress.

Regarding explosives the SS Richard Montgomery a WW 2 liberty ship sunk in the Thames estuary is another one you would not want to go bang.

Loved the video Andy. Hope the bramble bushes didn't scratch you too much!

Get some parkside grampus wagon kits, Andy.
They suit your era.
Easy to build. (If you can build an airfix kit you can build these)
